Picture the Past: Chesterfield

The result of a collaboration between Picture the Past, DB
Publishing and Michael Smith, Picture the Past: Chesterfield
is a beautiful visual tour through the history of this
impressive Derbyshire town. Picture the Past (www.picturethepast.org.uk) is a website which was launched with Heritage Lottery funding and is collectively managed by the local authorities of Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire.
Picture the Past aims to conserve and make publicly accessible the photographic heritage of the North East Midlands, thereby enabling people to see the richness and diversity of the area’s photographic collections. In this stunning book those behind the project aim to reach an audience which may be unfamiliar with the website, and to
acquaint those with an interest in Chesterfield with a small selection from its 60,000+ images.
This excellent collection captures individual moments, frozen in time, giving a unique and very personal insight into the heart of this most characterful area of Britain.
